Why isn't the audio binaural?

Hey! Great work buddy. I like your commentary and content, keep it up <3

More content like this please? 🙂 would love to see more Pokemon games ran this way.

3:54:46 It just hit me that when you defeated the Rival in Silver, he had to stand there and watch your Marill evolve, before he could go on a rant about how he won't give up until he beats you lol

This is quite possibly, if not definitely, the most insane TAS run ever made. Just the planning alone would've made a normal person lose their sanity, but it's the execution of it that demonstrates the sheer SKILL involved at making something like this. The closest I could ever come to this was when I used to make TAS fights in 3rd Strike, having 1P controls on gamepad and 2P controls on keyboard, and it was such a pain in the ass to make, but the results were so satisfying. But running 3 RPGs simultaneously, all manipulating RNG and timing interactions here and there for all sorts of events and trading, inventory/PC management, evolving, hatching eggs, resetting... just, wow. The more I think about the absolute insane depth of this run the more impressive it gets. Thank you for making this. I am so proud of you. 😊

awesome TAS!

6:37 TAS BY GRABAL - "Who's Grabal?" - Grabal deez nuts

🐐

i really enjoyed watching this tas! the commentary was really informative and entertaining. shoutout to those zigzagoons and linoones. they are the cutest heroes

Wow! Great series. Your commentary adds a lot :)

I like to joke about the Pick-Up ability by saying that the Zigzagoon are actually stealing items from Trainers after battles, lol. Just like irl raccoons do to people chilling in parks.

4:27:09 506 EVs? Iirc it's 255 per stat and an overall max of 510

1. Holy cow the level of skill, technical showcase, and culmination of 2 decades of tech, experience, and evolution of these games is ridiculous. This run showcases so many strats and quick time saves I was either watching as they came out, or watching as they were speculated to be possible. Absolute praise for this run, what you guys have displayed is NUTS. 2. The explanations are fantastic, was watching this with one of my lesser speedrun-savvy friends who enjoys pokemon and he was blown away at how many micro-saves there were that added up to potential hours being taken off the run. This is the peak format of a TAS Showcase and is, alongside direct commentated runs, the best TAS i have ever seen in terms of getting someone to "get it" 3. I love gen 3, i love cool stuff in gen 3, this video is 4 and a half hours of gen 3, if I could like it a billion times I would. Hope to see more from you, especially with FRLG and its possibilities.

This is very cool Great explanations, neat tricks and I really appreciate the effort in flushing out these routes for both games. Thanks for going the extra mile to edit and add party member status and whatnot on the vid

One thing I have to mention is that in Emerald up to ORAS is that Pickup works differently as you need Pokemon with said ability to be at least level 21 to get Rare Candies.

Finally finished watching and it was great! Masterful route work, and the strategies were very interesting :)

The lesson I learned is that Zigzagoon and Spheal are cute

Was PokeRus used in this? I didn’t see a mention of it, but given the sheer number of wild encounters I’d assume you would pick it up even if it only gives marginal improvements.

Once I come back from getting cannabis at the Canadian dispensary and beer; I'm going to watch this vidyo.

Someone did all of Pokemon Red and Blue 150 TAS Diploma before, honestly it's amazing to see another one of these

I love all the sass in the commentary track! Makes it a lot more fun to read through than if it was bland. Sapphire is a monster for real, leaving New Mauville with a broken generator...

What about DPPt/HGSS Nat Dex? Does that seem more doable than RSE?

Thinking on what would need to be done to get a Co-Op National Dex run for Ruby/Sapphire.... - Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness for Lugia, and the Johto starters (also obtainable in Emerald, but would require restarting it twice to get all 3 as the Johto starts are one per save file). - Pokemon Colosseum for Ho-Oh, and the Legendary Dogs. - FireRed *and* LeafGreen for their exclusive Pokemon that don't appear in R/S, plus the Legendary Birds and Mewtwo - I don't believe there's a legitimate way to obtain Mew or Deoxys without glitches. Perhaps a TAS would allow using ACE to create their event items in Emerald to be an exception to an otherwise glitchless run. - An Australian (or maybe European?) version of Pokemon Channel for Jirachi. Since Co-Op (Regional) Diploma runs go off the idea that both games involved complete their pokedexs... should that idea apply to a theoretical Co-Op Nat Dex run, all of these games would have to be played to completion. FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald would have to complete all of their National Dex diplomas; while XD, Colosseum, and Pokemon Channel would have to be completed to their equivalent of 100%. TASVideos does not have any published entries for the three Gamecube games, so let's go off their current 100% human WR runs. - Pokemon Channel's 100% is currently 15:34:38 (15h 34m 38s) by Carpaltunnel_of_love. - Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness's 100% is currently 18:32:06 (18h 32m 6s) by Ryziken. - Pokemon Colosseum's 100& is currently 17:17:34 (17h 17m 34s) by Daspharaoh on emulator. Obviously all the games would be running at a single time in this theoretical run, but we're still looking at a TAS that's just shy of 20 hours long (though a TAS might be able to make a lot of time in the GC games via optimizing things humans cannot). Putting aside speedrunning, it's insane to see how the incompatibility between Gen 2 and 3 makes completing the Gen 3 Dex an insane task.

Why name yourself A?

Came here after finishing watching your Ruby/Sapphire co-op regional diploma. Very excited to see this one finished in future, especially with being able to see the differences between this and RS.

I can't believe Lileep blew up all those Claydols with his mind.

Absolutely amazing TAS, and I have to praise your amazing annotations! I love being able to hear not only the strategies and methods used, why certain things are/aren't done, who did all of this, and even things about other runs. Wonderful all around <3 even if you had to do some unethical things to get some pokemon.

That was really really impressive, I am used to watching speed runs and TAS but this is on another level entirely. But where is the beef with poor Sapphire coming from 😅

Impressive work indeed. I have no idea how long it took you to complete this. Nothing but pure dedication and passion. Congratulations!

I'm so glad that our poké-society has moved past terminology like "HM slave" to the more appropriate "HM-ployee"

I can definitely appreciate how much work goes into something like this. The annotations are great, the fact about the glitched feebas tiles was interesting, and I like the overarching theme of Ruby being a more kindhearted girl, whereas Sapphire is a heartless monster.

Whoaaa this was so cool! And now i need to watch your other tases and also the professor oak challenge one mentioned

Goated tas

The idea of a natdex gen 3 run sounds really fascinating, trying to figure out the fewest games it can be done in... XD has all of the Pokemon missing from Emerald's Hoenn dex, as well as nearly every version-exclusive kanto dex Pokemon from FRLG except for specifically Slowpoke afaik, and the Johto mons that would be missing would be in Colosseum. So I guess Emerald, Colosseum, XD, Leafgreen would be the optimal quartet? That would be one brutal TAS to make, though.

You need to do gen 1

Wondering who this "banned speedrunner" you mentioned is. 👀

I love this

"I'll show you how horrid it is for a Pokemon to take a critical hit!" I guess he did keep his promise.

I've been completing my living dex in my normal playthrough then I stumbled upon this run. This TAS is amazing!

Sup

I love this series, and the annotations are great

Stoked to watch this (:

Guys I think my left eye might be stronger than my right

1:19:39 "this is one of the few times this TAS pulls a Jadiwi" **avgn voice** THAT'S RIGHT WE'RE GONNA CHEAT--

Congratulations, this was a huge project and the final result is so impressive! I love the use of Claydol missing with Explosion to grind levels - I used a similar trick to get past a lot of trainer battles in my Kaizo Blue TAS.

3:40:46 not that it really matters since Ruby is still grinding, but wouldn’t it be faster to switch Feebas to the front slot so that you don’t have to set the Pokémon receiving blocks every time?

hell yes ❤

at 1:04:40 why not put silcoon and cascoon in the party now instead of the next box

another Instant Certified Hood Classic from Gabraltar

You weren't kidding about the TAS berry blender, wow that was cool! This was such a fun run to watch, amazing work on all the routing and manipulation that went into this! 3:18:45 My main goal is to blow up. 4:20:10 CAT
